    On most days it’s difficult to find someone who will give up their seat for another person during the morning commute.
    However passengers in Perth, Australia showed that even on the way to work people will still help each other out, and in this case even move a train for a trapped passenger.
    This incredible video shows an unlucky man getting stuck in the gap between the train and the platform.
    Before emergency services could arrive, hundreds of commuters join as one and actually managed to push the train, tilting it to give the man enough room to escape.

    With one huge push the passengers managed to tilt the train (Picture: Youtube / ABC News) The mind-blowing example of power in numbers spared the man from any serious injury.

    Perth Transport spokesman David Hynes told ABC News: ‘There were lots of them, off the train, and organised them to sort of rock, tilt the train backwards away from the platform so they were able to get him out and rescue him.’
